Angel Hair Pasta with Creamy Corn and Avocado Sauce

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...This recipe has been in the public domain for years now and while I've always wanted to try it, curiosity and the contents of my pantry were never in sync with one another, so, that just never happened. With last week's gift of avocados from SoCal Avocados I finally had the ingredients and the incentive I needed to give the recipe a try. It was worth the wait, though it's a shame it took so long for that to happen. This is a subtle, sophisticated and delicious pasta that also happens to be easy to prepare. I didn't think the dish was substantial enough to serve as a main course, so I served it tonight with a simple poached salmon and they were a perfect match for each other. The taste and color of both dishes was remarkable, though I must say the pasta would be wonderful with any plain grilled meat or fish. The avocado adds a wonderful silkiness to the sauce and the corn with which it is blended adds a wonderful dimension to the taste of the finished pasta. I heartily recommend this recipe and I hope all of you will give this a try. I do have one caution to share with you. Don't substitute a more substantial pasta for the angel hair. This dish really needs a fine, thin pasta. Be sure to follow the directions that come on the box and carefully monitor the cooking time. This cooks quickly and will turn gummy in a flash. I must admit I was surprised at how much we enjoyed this. I'll be serving it again. While this was a sponsored post written on behest of SoCal Avocados who provided the fruit, the opinions expressed here are my own. I think you'll like this unusual pasta. Here's the recipe.

What an interesting and unusual combo of flavors - I would never had thought of using an avocado in a pasta sauce! I see avocados all over the place these days - they certainly are 'in style!' (ps - I want to thank you for your recent note about the changes coming soon at Blogger. I have made adjustments on my own blog also! )

Avocados and corn really do complement each other in this dish. I love the addition of tomatillos in this, so unique :) Lovely pasta variation, Mary, and thanks for the note on the kind of pasta to use. I'm bookmarking this for sure!

Hi!I have just received the versatile blogger award and as per the rules i am supposed to pass it on to 15 fellow bloggers I liked. I have been a frequent visitor of your blog and really enjoy reading it.I would like to nominate your blog for "The Versatile Blogger Award" for its great content and versatility.

This is on my list to try. After thinking for twenty seven years that I didn't like avocados I am just starting to figure out how to put them in dishes so my husband will be willing to try them. This sounds good.

I've never seen a recipe like this before. but I do love Angel Hair, and won't use any other kind of spaghetti. It seems that Angel Hair and Capellini are about the same, I can't tell a difference. The spell checker is telling me that Capellini is really either penicillin or pelican, yikes!
